Right turn noise - from left front wheel - I think

I've got a similar noise on mine. Except mine is coming from the right front and is most noticable when turning left. I'm about 80% sure it is a wheel bearing. I've visually inspected all the CV boots for cracks and they look like new. I can't find any slop in either of my joints either.

And speaking of bearings.... I just replaced both wheel bearings on the rear of mine. The right rear was starting to make some noise. I also tried the "jacking and wobbling" trick on the rear wheels and they were tight. While a sloppy bearing is certainly an indication, a tight one doesn't mean all is good.

Yep - it was a wheel bearing! Right hand front wheel (even though it sounded like left!) Already had a back wheel bearing done too - it must be fairly common. Many thanks for info.

Glad you got it fixed!

Yes, the rear wheel bearings are a problem. It seems Ford has some kind of special repair kit for the rear as I guess water was getting in from the backside of the hub. (I didn't order the kit from Ford.... I figured if the bearings lasted another 90K+ miles, the car would be made into a toaster by then.)
